Intentra

Vibecoding shouldn't cost so much

Meet Intentra, the CLI-first platform that catches AI coding violations (like when Cursor ignores your instructions) and helps you recover wasted costs. Built for developers who care about accountability.

Potential savings: 27%

Zero-friction setup

One command to install. One command to enable tracking. Start seeing your AI costs immediately.

Instant visibility

Every scan tracked in real-time. See exactly what you're spending and where violations occur.

Actionable insights

Violations highlighted automatically. Know immediately when tools waste your budget.

What exactly is a "scan"?

A scan is the LLM calls that occur between prompts. Even if the AI retries multiple times, you only pay for 1 scan.

"Fix this bug"
= 1 scan
"Write tests"
= 1 scan
"Refactor code"
= 1 scan

💡Why scans, not tokens?

No hidden costs: Even if the AI retries 5 times, you pay for 1 scan
Easy to understand: "I made 15 requests today" vs "I used 47,329 tokens"
Predictable billing: Know exactly what you'll pay before you hit upgrade

Technical note: A scan is 3-5 LLM API calls1 grouped by user intent. We handle the complexity of hook aggregation, so you only pay for meaningful actions.

1 Average based on analysis of 10,000+ real AI coding sessions across Cursor and Claude Code. Simple tasks (typo fixes) typically use 1-2 calls, complex refactors use 5-8 calls. We use the median range for billing simplicity.

Built for transparency

Catch violations, recover costs, and take control of your AI spending

1 Projected user count based on private beta signups and waitlist (as of January 2026). Includes free tier users.

2 Cumulative waste detected across all users during private beta period (October 2025 - January 2026). Calculated from violation detection across retry loops, context waste, and ignored instructions.

3 Total scans processed across all users since platform launch in October 2025.

4 Average cost reduction from early adopters who eliminated detected violations. Individual results may vary based on tool usage patterns and violation frequency.
